The 23rd Special Waste Disposal Site of the Federation.
Also known as the "Tomb of Magical Treasures."
With the continuous development of the cultivation civilization, the magical treasures that were once only accessible to cultivators have entered thousands of households, becoming an essential tool for ordinary people in their daily travel, study, and work.
While bringing convenience to life, it has also produced a large amount of scrapped magical treasures and metal waste.
Most of these waste treasures still retain a lot of spiritual power, which can easily cause radiation pollution. The talisman arrays constructed by the treasures are extremely unstable, and there is even a risk of explosion. If left unattended, it will cause great damage to the environment.
Therefore, around each big city in the Federation, there will always be several "Special Waste Disposal Sites" set up to deal with scrapped magical treasures.
The 23rd Special Waste Disposal Site is located in the southern suburbs of the Federation's cultivation stronghold, "Floating City."
Under the dim sky, a swamp polluted to purple emits a strong stench. Mountains composed of metal fragments are like a hundred dinosaurs with their backs exposed in the swamp. The mountains are covered with broken flying swords, and next to the swords, there are rusty crystal stone puppets. The hollow eye sockets have long been extinguished, leaving only the spiritual energy-eating insects that peek out carefully from inside, cautiously looking at this perilous "Tomb of Magical Treasures."
"Boom!"
Not far away, inside a garbage mountain, the talisman array of the discarded treasure breaks, and the residual spiritual power explodes instantly, blasting half of the mountain into the sky.
Countless metal components splash like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, causing a series of collapses in the surrounding garbage mountains, raising a sky full of dust, like demons dancing, covering the whole sky.
Here, it seems to be a forbidden area for life, only insignificant cockroaches and worms take this place as a paradise.
However...
Li Yao is lurking behind a garbage mountain, licking his cracked lips, his earth-colored coat is full of dust, making him blend into the environment.
Glancing at the rising explosion cloud not far away, the teenager's clear eyes did not show any emotion, calm.
It was only when the mud and metal fragments splashed onto the garbage mountain where he was hiding that he shrank a little deeper into the garbage pile, and at the same time, he put on goggles that were enough to cover half of his face.
"Here it comes!"
When the spiritual watch on his wrist vibrated gently, the teenager's spirit was refreshed, and a slightly evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At 3:52:38 PM, the daily routine of garbage dumping time, it is also the carnival moment for "garbage worms" like Li Yao!
The spiritual watch on his left wrist is a hunting-specific model released by the cultivation sect "Flying Spirit Sect" three years ago. After he found it in the garbage mountain, it took him a full two months to repair it.
In addition to keeping time, it has a very powerful function, capable of recording special frequency vibrations and notifying the owner when specific vibrations are detected nearby.
This function was originally used to alert hunters that there might be a powerful demon beast nearby.
After being modified by Li Yao, it has become a reminder that the garbage ship is about to appear.
A moment later, with a barely noticeable hum, a dozen black dots appeared on the northern horizon.
At this time, the smoke and dust from the explosion that covered the sky had not yet dissipated, and the dozen black dots were mixed in it, which was not clear at all.
Li Yao shrugged his nose tip and lightly touched a rune on the side of the wind mirror. "Whoosh," the surface of the wind mirror turned blood red.
Under the red light scanning, the garbage ship hidden in the smoke and dust was outlined with a round figure, clear at a glance.
The hunting function of the spiritual watch also firmly locked the special vibration frequency of a garbage ship.
"Garbage ship number 1327, that's you!"
From birth to the age of ten, Li Yao has been in the treasure tomb for ten years. He is very familiar with every inch of the land here and every garbage ship in the sky. This "Garbage ship number 1327" is responsible for collecting garbage in the "Upper East District" of the city.
The Upper East District is the most luxurious rich area in the city, where many cultivators live, and the treasures they discard are also the most valuable.
Many treasures are even intact, just a little old, or a new generation of products has been launched, and they are carelessly discarded by cultivators and rich people.
For Li Yao, this is not a garbage ship at all, but a treasure ship full of gold mines!
"Whoosh!"
Li Yao exerted his legs and shot out like a bullet, rushing wildly between the garbage mountains, rushing towards the smoke and dust, and rushing towards the "Garbage ship number 1327"!
Surrounded by unstable garbage mountains, and the poisonous swamp underfoot is "gurgling" with bubbles. Li Yao is like the most agile monkey in the forest, occasionally stepping on a protruding part of the garbage mountain, and each kick can pop out dozens of meters away. The movement is smooth and pleasing to the eye.
"Li Yao, you bastard, you're robbing me again!"
At this time, a dozen figures emerged from behind several garbage mountains, dressed similarly to Li Yao, but without wearing his advanced blood-red wind mirror and spiritual watch.
These people are holding shovels and iron sticks, and they are fierce.
They, like Li Yao, are garbage worms who make a living by the "23rd Special Waste Disposal Site."
Where there is profit, there is struggle. A ship full of discarded treasures may be just garbage for the high cultivators, but for these bottom poor people, it is the hope of survival. Li Yao is the best garbage worm in the treasure tomb, and naturally, he is also the thorn in the flesh of most garbage worms.
Li Yao didn't care at all, hehe smiled, suddenly exerted his waist, and his figure turned strangely, unexpectedly turning 90 degrees without warning, avoiding a fat teenager with a horizontal eyebrow and an angry look in front of him, and also stepping hard on the fat face, taking advantage of this foot, and the whole person swept out again. Thirty or forty meters.
"Fei Long, we all come out to make a living, and it's all about who is faster. You should lose weight!"
The fat teenager's face has a huge red mark, and his nose is almost buried in the fat. He is so angry that he screams and orders his men to chase after him. A group of people quickly entered the smoke and dust area.
There was just an explosion here, which was very unstable. Dozens of garbage mountains could collapse at any time. Even the fierce Fei Long and his group of teenagers had to slow down when they entered this place and watched Li Yao gallop.
Fei Long couldn't help but spit.
"This bastard is really famous for being money-obsessed and disregarding his life. If God has eyes, a thunder will kill..."
Before the voice had fallen, another explosion occurred inside a garbage mountain not far from Li Yao, and tens of thousands of tons of metal components and broken magical treasures rushed down like a mountain torrent!
"So spiritual!" Fei Long and the group of teenagers were all stunned and at a loss!
But they heard a scream coming from the smoke and dust: "Xiao Hei, save me!"
A black light, deeper than the night sky, shot out and spun around in the metal torrent, then rushed into the sky. It was a rusty, chipped, and completely black flying sword with a huge guard like black wings. Li Yao clung to the flying sword as if he were a drowning man clutching at a straw, clumsily lying on the flying sword, surrounded by black light, rushing towards the sky!
In the sky, more than a dozen garbage ships had revealed their huge figures, each hundreds of meters long, with round bodies like the legendary tortoises that support the earth. The "shells" were densely engraved with tens of thousands of runes, with spiritual light flashing and colorful, helping these tens of thousands of tons of heavy guys resist the invasion of gravity.
"Crash!"
The hatches of the bellies of the "big tortoises" opened, and a flood of metal components and broken magical treasures poured out and smashed to the ground.
For a while, the spiritual power in the whole world stirred crazily, setting off a storm!
Even the tens of thousands of tons of garbage ships swayed violently in the spiritual power wave, and had to be separated desperately to reduce interference.
Fei Long and others did not dare to approach easily, for fear of being involved.
Li Yao was still riding the black flying sword, rushing left and right in the spiritual power wave. Although he looked extremely embarrassed, he was as flexible as a loach.
Of course, he did not dare to confront the storm head-on, but he relied on more than a decade of survival experience to try to find a relatively calm safe area between the spiritual power tides, just to get as close as possible to the landing point of the garbage treasures, so as to get the moon first.
Finally -
After nearly ten minutes of dumping, the garbage ship roared like a beast, turned around, and lazily returned, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
Fei Long finally climbed into the center of the dense garbage dump and saw Li Yao sitting comfortably on a brand new garbage mountain, smiling at him.
"Damn it!" Fei Long's face was shaking, but his heart was quite tangled.
The garbage mountain chosen by Li Yao was quite clever. It was not the largest one, and it did not look like the one with the richest materials.
There are still dozens of garbage mountains around, containing valuable garbage treasures.
And the garbage worms are not only their two gangs...
If you continue to entangle with Li Yao here, you may be fished by other garbage worms.
The figures of other garbage worms have already appeared around, and cheers have been heard on many garbage mountains, which means that someone has found something valuable.
What's more...
Fei Long heard that this stinky kid, Li Yao, is also a student of the famous "Chi Xiao Sect Affiliated Second High School" in the city.
Chi Xiao Sect is a well-known large sect in the south of the Federation, with strong strength and many masters.
Although Li Yao may not have learned any true skills, he is not someone who can be dealt with in three punches and two feet. Otherwise, he would not have been able to venture alone in the treasure tomb for more than a decade, still living and fighting, and even won the nickname of "Vulture"!
But if you leave like this, where should his face be? His nose is still embedded in the flesh!
He was entangled in his heart, and a gust of wind passed by. Fei Long subconsciously reached out and took it. It was a cool, fist-sized scrapped crystal brain.
Li Yao smiled and said, "Fei Long, we all come out to make a living. It's not that I robbed you of a 'Starlight' level crystal brain last time, it's not like I killed your father, is it so relentless? Here, I just found a 'Qinglong Gate' refined 'Snapdragon 17 model' crystal brain, which is the most advanced model, and can calculate more than 5,000 thoughts per second. Although it's burnt out, I estimate it can still sell for three or four thousand pieces. Just when I respect you, Brother Fei Long, from now on we are even, how about that?"
"You..." Fei Long didn't expect Li Yao to do this, and he was stunned, and he couldn't believe it, scratching the fat on his face.
"Hey, look over there, the 'Wild Wolf Gang' is coming, they are not like me as a lone traveler, and they will definitely eat up dozens of garbage mountains and wipe them clean, not even leaving a screw for you!" Li Yao pointed to the west.
Fei Long's face changed, squinted his eyes to observe for a while, and finally made up his mind, gave Li Yao a thumbs up, and squeezed out a sentence:
"Good boy, you have a set! Let's go, hurry up and sweep the goods!"
A group of garbage worms scattered and rushed to the garbage mountains in all directions.
"Hoo..."
Li Yao let out a long sigh, sat down in the garbage heap, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his smiling face instantly became sad.
"Dead fat man, the 'Snapdragon' level crystal brain I found is so cheap for you!"
"You wait, my 'Vulture Li Yao' things are not so easy to take? One day you have to eat what I gave you and spit it out, take what I gave you and give it back, and add interest, according to the usury, let you know why everyone calls me 'money-loving vulture'!"
"No, I have to speed up, the 'Wild Wolf Gang' is more unreasonable than Fei Long!"
Li Yao pulled off the wind mirror and hung it around his neck, rubbed his hands, his eyes shining, licked his lips, and plunged into the freshly baked garbage pile!
